    Transcript levels were measured for hspb2, hspb1, <t>hspb5,</t> hspb6 in HSPB2wt and HSPB2cKO animals, after sham or TAC-surgery. The transcript abundance increased significantly in response to pressure-overload. Except for hspb2, there were no significant differences between sHsp mRNA expression in HSPB2wt and HSPB2cKO hearts in both of sham and TAC operated mice. From 3 to 5 heart samples were analyzed per group. *P<0.05compared with each sham groups.

    A novel PLK2/HSPB5 pathway is proposed as a model for cytoprotection against ER stress by MG132. PLK2, a novel binding protein of HSPB5, phosphorylates serine 19 (pSer19) of HSPB5 under ER stress conditions caused by proteome inhibitor MG132. This phosphorylation is responsible for inhibitory effect of HSPB5 on ER stress-induced apoptosis by MG132. PLK2/HSPB5 pathway provides a molecular mechanism for pSer19 of HSPB5 and represents part of mechanism for suppressing ER stress-induced apoptosis via proteasome inhibition.

    Transcript levels were measured for hspb2, hspb1, hspb5, hspb6 in HSPB2wt and HSPB2cKO animals, after sham or TAC-surgery. The transcript abundance increased significantly in response to pressure-overload. Except for hspb2, there were no significant differences between sHsp mRNA expression in HSPB2wt and HSPB2cKO hearts in both of sham and TAC operated mice. From 3 to 5 heart samples were analyzed per group. *P<0.05compared with each sham groups.

    Hearts from HSPB2wt and HSPB2cKO were isolated at 8 weeks after sham or TAC procedure and protein extracts (soluble fraction) were analyzed by western blots probed with anti-HSPB2, HSPB1 (HSP25), HSPB5 (CRYAB) and HSPB6 (HSP20). In contrast to transcripts, protein levels were not significantly modified in samples from TAC operated mice and except for HSPB2, there was no difference between HSPB2cKO and HSPB2wt samples. Two to five samples were analyzed per group and a representative example is shown.
